PCU I loved the Communications major who developed the "Caine-Hackman Theory", which states: At any moment in time, at least one cable or broadcast TV channel will be showing a movie that stars Michael Caine or Gene Hackman or both Caine and Hackman.Posted by Frodo777

This is really a pretty stupid list. It covers any kind of movie that's in any way related to college students, faculty, or even just a campus. It goes across so many different genres - comedy, drama, horror, et al - that it's impossible for these "rankings" to really have any meaning at all. How can you compare "Animal House" and "Good Will Hunting" to each other? You can't. They're both great movies, but they're so radically different that any attempt to prove one is better than the other would be meaningless.

The rankings should have just stuck to what most of us probably assumed the list would be about when we first looked at the headline: the best COMEDIES about college life.
